So libvirt must ALWAYS set it, and we fail in .realize() if it's not
set.  Correct?  Let's mention it.

include/linux/kobject.h
33:#define UEVENT_BUFFER_SIZE           2048    /* buffer for the variables */

Looks like 64K is overkill, maybe 4K?

Should ENOMEM go here to?  And if it's an error that breaks the socket,
like EBADF or smth else - maybe spit the error and detach the handler?
What's the point of keeping it afterwards?

How about also checking nl_groups? Should be 1 for multicast.  I.e.

  if (getsockname(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, &addrlen) < 0) {
      error_setg_errno(...);
      return false;
  }
  if (addr.nl_groups != 1) {
      error_setg(errp, "vhost-blk: '%s' is not subscribed to kernel uevents",
                 src);
      return false;
  }

For conf values monitor_fd_param() is usually used, so how about

  s->uevent_fd = monitor_fd_param(monitor_cur(), s->conf.ueventfd, errp);
